Where to get info on Arospeed wheels?

Hey guys,

I've emailed Arospeed 3 times, but looks like they are not too interested in selling their wheels [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/IMG]

Anyone know where I can buy them in the NW US or Canada? Also, how much do the RS23 weigh in the 17"?

I really like the wheels, but their total lack of service is amazing.

I was looking at them and the VX-8 but the VX weight over 20 lbs. That's my weight cutoff. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] My short list still includes Konig Absolutes, but I don't like the 'fake' nuts and the color is a bit dark...

Oh well, we'll see.

OK, get this, I get NO reply to my emails from Arospeed, so I call them up. The 17x7 'lightweight' wheels weigh 22 lbs. 22lbs?!? Why do these guys advertise them as 'lightweight' racing wheels when they weigh 22lbs. What a JOKE!! [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG]

So far I've found the following wheels I liked that are over 20 LBS:

Tenzo R Mean 6 - 21.7
Velox VX-8 - 22
Arospeed RS23 - 22

These are all nice wheels, but way too heavy.

Anyhows, I'll be Buying Konig Absolutes from Whalen Tire. They are 18.88 lbs for the 17x7 and I can drive to Montana and have em installed [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] I think 19 lbs is a much more 'reasonable' weight. Yea, I know people will say 3 pounds doesn't make a diff, but it's the principle. You gotta draw the line somewhere and mine's at 20 lbs.

Konig Absolutes

What do you guys think of em?
